HTTP Proxy

Hello,

I need to replace a windows proxy and I'm looking to use a basic archlinux install with just an http proxy.  All we're looking for is user/group permissions, active directory/domain auth, whitelist and blacklist, wildcards.  It would be nice if it scanned http for viruses/etc.. but not absolutely neccesary.

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

wow. that is all you want?

/end sarcastic tone.

You might want to consider a distro that is already geared for that. ipcop (with advproxy and/or copfilter) or pfsense can do alot of that, but they are generally meant to be more of a firewall...though you can use them just as a web proxy too...

if you are really looking to roll your own, check out
squid
squidguard
HAVP
Privoxy
and maybe dansguardian

Re: HTTP Proxy

cactus,

Thanks for the reply.  I took at ipcop and advproxy and it looks great.  I've got an unused box laying around and I'll give that a try.
